Latest Pilbara News

Talisman Mining’s Sheepyard prospect has emerged as the company’s clearest exploration opportunity after drilling outlined shallow gold mineralisation across an unconstrained 800-metre strike. But the annual report also shows a shrinking royalty income stream, a $2.705 million loss and fresh reliance on equity funding.

CZR Resources has converted the A$75 million Robe Mesa sale into a debt-free exploration war chest, while Croydon drilling expands its flagship gold target. The next test is whether exploration momentum and the proposed Zuleika takeover can create value beyond the one-off transaction gain.

Moho Resources has expanded its Bush Chook exploration story with new shallow gold systems, but its auditor has warned that ongoing cash outflows and reliance on future funding create material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. The company held $1.27 million in cash at 30 June 2026 after raising $2 million and selling Silver Swan North.

Leeuwin Metals ended FY2026 with a 342,300-ounce Marda resource, which increased to 378,600 ounces shortly after year end following further Evanston drilling. The gold explorer is now shifting towards permitting and mine planning, although it remains loss-making, has no Ore Reserves and expects to require further funding.

Tambourah Metals has reported high-grade exploration results at Beatty Park South and Tambourah King, alongside a stronger cash position and a reduced annual loss. The projects remain at exploration stage, with drilling and resource modelling now carrying the story forward.

Artemis Resources has repositioned around West Pilbara gold-copper exploration and the emerging Madura province, but its audited accounts warn that further funding is required to sustain planned activities. The company ended the year with $3.45 million in cash after an $8.81 million loss and a $5.23 million exploration write-off.

GreenTech Metals has turned a year of drilling, acquisitions and capital raising into a much larger West Pilbara exploration portfolio. The opportunity is growing, but the annual report also flags a material uncertainty over future funding as the company pursues Munni Munni and Whundo.

Black Canyon has spent the 2026 financial year moving Wandanya from discovery towards resource definition, backed by 17,200 metres of drilling and encouraging manganese beneficiation results. The exploration company ended the year with $7.77 million in cash and no debt, but remains reliant on future funding before any development decision can be made.

Lycopodium has secured a A$49.4 million EPCM contract to lead the preproduction delivery phase of Greatland Resources’ Havieron gold-copper project in Western Australia. Work has already begun under a limited notice of award issued in June.

Arrow Minerals has applied for an iron ore exploration tenement adjoining Rio Tinto's Robe Valley operations in Western Australia, a move that could expand its prospective landholding by 30% to 415 square kilometres. The application remains subject to tenure award, and no resource or economic estimate has been announced.

Pilbara Gold has reported strong initial drill results from the Terra Prospect at Roe Hills, including 46 metres at 3.17g/t gold and a narrower high-grade hit of 4 metres at 9.91g/t. The results extend evidence of a mineralised corridor at least 1.5km long, although substantial drilling and follow-up work remain.

Pilbara Gold has reported broad and high-grade gold intersections at its 2.1Moz Mt York project, including mineralisation about 100 metres below the current resource. The results support ongoing resource classification work, while deeper drilling and further assays could determine how much growth is ultimately added.
